Will PayPal be acceptable?:

Did you hear about the native of Prague who broke into a post office and ate all of the letters?
The mail was in the Czech.

You see, thats the thing to it: unfortunately, 99 per cent of all women are gold diggers by nature. Its pretty much part of their biological makeup.

Yea, like women don't consider penis size in a perspective date? Yea right!!!!

What source are you getting this data from?

I guess I am in the 1%

Sorry. It's all my fault. I told him that Uranus was a depository of all sorts of data.
I assumed he knew that I was talking about a planet.

Says alot about you, as well.
Water seeks it's own level.

Some women, might be curious, if a "man" can provide for the family,
*he* wants to start.

I am sending you to a corner in a round room

I suppose it's a good thing that 99,9999% of the women born on Earth are part of the remaining 1 percent

Now as for men ... what is going on with them these days? It seems like 99% of esp the younger specimen seem to whinge and whine (get some cheese with it!!) and thrive on gender bashing.
Makes me wonder why so many men can't handle the ups and downs of life ... Rather scary to think that the dating pool is made up by so many men that can't get a grip on things ...

***If you're part of the sane(r) 1%, please don't feel offended. It simply means you're one of the few most women would like to be involved with, lol.

seems like a lot of old and young dogs sitting around licking their wounds..


what woman has done to them in their lives
must surely generalize to be true of all women everywhere


in fact...I must now be an EXPERT ON DA WOMENZZZZZ

I flatly refuse to buy into the "what woman has done to them in their lives". That particular woman is likely to feel the exact same way about the whining bloke.
Most don't even look at what they themselves did. Everyone has part and responsibility in whatever went wrong.

Like I've been in a seriously abusive relationship, but I can not blame my ex 100% for everything that happened.
I also had part in that, even if it was just that I should have left sooner. There was a reason why I didn't, and that part is my own responsibility. And I took that. I'm an adult, not a cry baby.
Plus, there's no point in blame. Only makes your own life miserable, the other party moves on regardless, unless they're stuck in the blame-game as well.

No way on earth is 1 person 100% responsible for chit happening.
The fact that so many people fail to see that, is a serious problem. For them. For the new women they'll end up dating.
And for us as they start whinging and whining about it here.

You'd almost think it's necessary to make therapy after divorce mandatory

People have lost their way.
And/or fail to see the double standard.

Any sex outside of marriage & providing for the woman & the children you both have is FREE SEX.

But a woman wanting money out side of the benefit of a contract/sanction of marriage is viewed as a crime.

And this double standard makes sense in what universe? Hhaa. Some men.

If a woman is in a sexual relationship with a man and does not profit, she is wasting her time & probably her youth & child bearing years to have children that aren't bastards. Or to be with a richer, younger, smarter, taller or better looking or nicer guy.

And she knows it.

If she doesn't care, she is a dumb wh@re & the man wouldn't want to keep her around anyway.

Relationships are contracts.
No contract, no money, no honey. I fail to see the problem.

We could also have a thread called
" Men who fail to see a woman's worth "

Dude, I was talking about the planet named . . . Oh, never mind.

I keep looking for the LIKE button, some of you have great comments.

I don't think the whining that you referred to is confined to men Crystal. The women are doing their fair share of whining too.

A lot of these threads keep boiling down to the battle of the sexes in one form or another. The men keep accusing women of using them for money and giving mixed signals in indicating what they want, and the women keep accusing the men of being insensitive and promiscuous. And as much as people don't want to admit it, dating and relationships have become a very competitive game.

There seems to be a CONSTANT and underlying accusation of which gender is more at fault than the other, and a constant argument over which gender is contributing more to the relationship than the other( whether financially or emotionally). This constant fault finding and competition is getting old and getting us NOWHERE FAST.

I think the dangers are even worse for younger people who often lack the discernment to weed out the gold diggers, the players, etc EARLIER, before becoming tragic victims to their schemes, and this often produces very unbalanced perceptions of both sexes, and consequently biased reactions.

Both genders have a lot of growing up to do from what I see, or we run the risk of being at this relationship impasse indefinitely.

Nah, don't see that happening anytime soon ... What I do see, is that it differs from country to country... some countries are more 'advanced' than others.

I know the Dutch are pretty danged progressive, I think Scandinavians are as well. I've come across derogatory things here that I have never ever in my life heard over here. Talked to my mom about it, because I was curious, and even she has never heard it.
So some of the things that are still contemporary for some or many Minglers, basically went obsolete quite some time ago over here.
(always exceptions to the rules of course)

Meaning that what you read here on Mingle is not representative for the rest of the world. Not by far (and thank goodness for that!)
Things aren't that bleak!

I hope you are right Crystal. It is just a little disconcerting for me to see the battle of the sexes that is so rampant in my country, mirrored back at me from other countries in the world that are 20 times more developed than my little island . It doesn't seem very encouraging to me, but hope springs eternal.

The answer is in the first 3 letters of the word "assume".

I totally agree with you Blondey, but I am just say ing that it caught me offguard that so many "selves " from so many different countries shared the same biases where genders were concerned.

It's alternatively amusing and tragically sad to me, that all these arguments have not changed one whit since I was six years old.

No kidding or exaggeration, I really was six when I first started noticing humans arguing about how women are gold diggers, men are sluts, and all Europeans are socially superior because they'll have sex with anyone any time.

My direct experience through all this time, has been that it's simultaneously all absolutely true, and abject lies at one and the same time.

There are a LOT of men who make a point of declaring that they are total whores, not to be trusted even with their own fingers, and there are a LOT of women who get caught up in trying to calculate exact value (not always monetary though) and then declare that they have to demand to GET what they are "worth" from men. And a HELL of a lot of each, are lying through their teeth, for various reasons.

And then there's a ton of people who don't follow those classic cliches, but a lot of them are convinced that there's something wrong with them because they don't, so they promote the cliches anyway.

I've known plenty of people who did, and others who didn't fit the patterns. And almost everyone thought they were breaking the patterns as they were falling right into the center of them, and many broke them just as completely, without even noticing they did.

Fascinating, really.

Mostly though, I see a lot of misunderstanding. Men who want LESS COMPLICATED sex, being labeled as wanting MINDLESS sex; women who want some measure of reliability and stability, being labeled as only caring about the money and prestige, because that's what leads to reliability and stability; and almost everyone pointing at everyone else, and complaining because everyone else has what they want and don't appear to appreciate it.

Meanwhile...
